Default Stargazing and Mosquitoes

So, I often see posts and info on red lights and so on, but I don't
see too much about dealing with bugs and critters.

Do you put out smoke pots or incense? Maybe one of those UV bug
zappers, (although powering high voltage could be problematic.)

Something that's effective is setting up a box fan to blow air over you
while you observe.

You can run one off a decent power inverter.

I find the mosquitoes tend to disappear about half an hour after sunset.
